Now with Improved Audio

Echo Plus connects to Alexa—a cloud-based voice service—to play music, make calls, set timers and alarms, ask questions, check traffic and weather, and more—instantly. Plus, with the built-in hub you can directly set up and control your smart home devices

Alexa can control your compatible smart lights, thermostats, locks, sprinklers, and more. Directly set up devices from Philips Hue and others without the need for a separate hub. Just ask Alexa to discover your connected devices
